Hey #yegcc. Let’s require Lime to at least allow their bikes to travel along and park at major cycling and arts infrastructure in the downtown. Can’t park at CO-LAB. Armature and the trails leading to it are no-go. All of Riverdale? SMH. #yegbike

Am I not getting this ad strategy? Looks like rage-farming to me.
Globe and Mail sponsored post “embrace the outrage” with a picture of matches arranged like a maple leaf. The caption says “Rage is the new Canadian mood. And there’s a strong case for staying good and mad.”

Hey! Localish, Canadian hothouse strawberries from Thrifty’s. They look almost too perfect! #yyj #yyjlocal
Fresh ripe blemish-free strawberries. About a dozen, in a clear container, with the lid off, showing their uniform ripeness. Several sliced strawberries and one hulled, on a small wooden cutting board with a red handled knife, and a box of strawberries in the back, with a clear plastic container and a green and white label that reads “just picked (strawberries fraises) grown in Canada, greenhouse grown in British Columbia. BC Hot House Foods, Surrey. 340 g / 12 oz)

PS - Victoria is ahead of many other cities in its adoption of #breastfeeding friendly spaces - see this decal at the entrance to a local library. I’ll bet it wouldn’t be a stretch to become Child Friendly.
The international breastfeeding symbol, a white human with a blue baby on a blue background, with the words “we welcome you to breastfeed any time, anywhere” and including the logos of a dozen or so organizations.

Shopping malls are getting better at this too - see West Edmonton Mall’s facilities that support a range of child care including a breastfeeding space and a separate changing area. Quite hygienic! #WEM is one of #yeg’s biggest tourist attractions and it also serves residents. 3/…

Cities focused on being child-friendly will ensure public facilities are not just suitable for adults, but also meet the needs of children. Airports increasingly understand this. #AmsterdamSchipholAirport is a standout example. 2/…

The Coho shows up in the #yyj inner harbour with the Canadian flag upside down and in 3 hours garners hundreds of comments on r/Victoria. (And Coho says it was an error.) It is indeed a sensitive time, I hope Blackball has savvy comms folks!

“HIV & Breastfeeding in Emergencies” : when antiretroviral (#ARV) drugs are not immediately available and replacement feeding isn’t available & safe, recommend exclusive #breastfeeding for first 6 mo & continue #bfing thereafter #IYCFE www.who.int/publications...
Front cover of “HIV and Infant Feeding in Emergencies Operational Guidance” by WHO and UNICEF includes illustration of three people, one with dark hair and pale skin, one with brown skin in traditional woman’s clothing, one pale skin and brown hair, all with babies in arms, amid various disasters - an image of unclean water coming from a tap, an electrical rainstorm, a field of tents in a displaced persons camp or emergency shelter, the ruins of a hospital building.
